I had heard a lot about this Michael Raven film from 2000 but despite its high budget and excellent production values, the film simply doesn't hold up and there are far to many plot and acting problems to really put it as anything better than a slightly above average venture.

Running Time: 87 min. Production Date: 1 / 15 / 2001 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Ava Vincent, Jessica Drake, Zoe, Asia Carrera, Taylor St. Claire, Bridgette Kerkove, Teri Summers, Ryan Conner, April, Alex Foxe, Herschel Savage, Dillion Day, Evan Stone, Mark Davis, Lexington Steele, Jon Decker, Cheyne Collins, Ian Daniels, Chris Cannon, and Ron Jeremy Initial Expectations: Ive heard a lot of good stuff about Mr. Raven, so I have high expectations for the movie. Unfortunately Ive had awful luck with the treatment Sin City gives their movies on DVD so Im not expecting the overall package to be that good. Initial Reaction: Wow!!! I liked it so much that I ordered several of Mr. Ravens other movies. Who Should Watch It : Anybody looking for original and well done porn who thinks that there hasnt been much really good porn since The Devil in Miss Jones 6. Anybody who loves mythology and porn. Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks porn should be all pink and frilly and happy where any time two people meet they should have sex.

Running Time: 81 min. (according to RAME) Production Date: 2 / 15 / 1999 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Jill Kelly, Inari Vachs, Mila, Gina Ryder, Alexandra Nice, Teri Starr, Allysin Chaynes, Gwen Summers, Blair Segal, Mark Davis, T. T. Boy, Chris Cannon, Pat Myne, Lexington Steele, J. J. Michaels, Jack Hammer, and John West Initial Expectations: Michael Raven is one of my favorite directors, so I have high hopes for this feature even though Sin City has put out some pretty lackluster DVDs. Initial Reaction: Its a pretty good raincoater feature, but not as good as some of Ravens other works. Who Should Watch It : Raincoaters and people who like slightly nastier sex Who Should Avoid It: Anybody who thinks VCA and Vivid are a little too nasty or who want a plot with their porn. Audio /Video Quality: The audio is normally clear and well balanced. Theres a few places where it sounds like there might be people talking in the background, but instead it was some of the music.

Running Time: approx. 78 min. Production Date: 12 / 13 / 1999 Director: Michael Raven Cast: Katja Kean, Devinn Lane, Sydnee Steele, Cassidey (listed here as Paisley Adams), Dayton Raines, Gia, Shay Sweet, Mark Davis, Chris Cannon, Eric Price, Earl Slate, Pat Myne, and Mike Horner Initial Expectations: Michael Raven is one of my favorite directors, so I always look forward to his movies with high expectations. Initial Reaction: Just put the DVD back on the shelf and nobody has to get hurt. Who Should Watch It : Fans of features such as Secrets and Whispers, anybody looking for a lot of sex with a minimum of plot, and anybody who enjoys well done art direction Who Should Avoid It: Anybody looking for a lot of plot with their porn, who thinks an ideal porn set is a bed, or who wants to see how nasty a scene can get Audio /Video Quality: Michael Raven normally shoots on film, which normally means the video is a bit grainy. Im not sure if he used film or not, but if so, Sin City did a great job with it since theres very little grain.
